Central Silk Board metro station

Central Silk Board is an important, upcoming elevated interchange metro station on the north-south corridor of the Yellow Line and Blue Line [1] of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India. This metro station serves the Central Silk Board area.

Contents

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd & 4th weeks of January 2025 [2] due to lots of trial runs along with more trainsets which are needed for commencement of operations. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Meanwhile, the elevated section of Blue Line covering a distance of 58.2km (Central Silk Board - KIAL Terminals via Krishnarajapura), is expected to be operational around June 2026.

History

Yellow Line

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Central Silk Board metro station along the 6.340 km Reach 5 – Package 3 section (Central Silk Board - Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 16 May 2017, HCC-URC Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates. [8] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.

Blue Line

In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Central Silk Board metro station, part of the 9.859 km Reach 2A – Package 1 section (Central Silk Board - Kodibeesanahalli) of the 18.236 km Blue Line of Namma Metro. On 13 October 2020, Afcons Infrastructure was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. [9] As a result, the contract was awarded to the company, which led to the beginning of the construction works of this metro station as per the agreed terms.
